M.anifest
The intelligent rapper, Kwame Ametepee Tsikata better known as M.anifest clarified that his music not part of propaganda and he used his music to appreciate Ghana’s history.
In exclusive talk with Citi Breakfast Show on Thursday, M.anifest said music should be used to tell only the truth and not lies.
Read his words as below:
‘Not to use it as a propaganda piece, but as in artist being the heartbeat of culture and being able to express truth about today, and also things about today that will be useful in the future…so that 50 years from now, when you listen to the music of today, it will give you clues as to what was happening with leadership, economy, social interactions between men and women.’
Host of the show, Bernard Koku Avle, posited that instead of politicians dominating sources of Ghana’s history, music could be adopted as a tool of telling the country’s story.
But M.anifest said because some musicians are paid to skew facts, music cannot always be honest and truthful.
‘We can use Germany as an example and even some African countries in which sometimes people are commissioned essentially to tell a lie and it’s very powerful using music.’
